We should realize that when people still believe that death is the end of everything we are, including our consciousness, they will give their energy only towards the temporary and material aspects of their life. Their lives will be just about competition and about making more money. In their short-sightedness they will forget how we are interconnected with each other and with nature. They will forget to reflect on the future of our planet, where our children and our grandchildren will have to live and survive. To quote Dag Hammerskjöld (1905-1961): ’Our ideas about death define how we live our life.’
